You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic, family-friendly Bollywood romance with big feelings, lots of songs, and easy laughs, in the same crowd-pleasing lane as Kal Ho Naa Ho; Not for you if you dislike melodrama or clichés.

Pros: big emotions; catchy songs; colorful, feel-good vibe | Cons: cheesy love triangle; predictable turns; overlong, corny stretches
